Known for playing dark and edgy roles, Eklund is strongly and quickly becoming a household name in
Canada.

In addition to guest appearances on popular TV series such as Supernatural,
Smallville and Fringe, he has an impressive list of supporting roles in feature films,
including The Entrance, Walk All Over Me and The Imaginarium of
Doctor Parnassus.

Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Eklund studied to be an artist at the prestigious Alberta College of
Art. It wasn’t until he met actor/writer Megan Bennett, who would become his wife, that he dropped out in
order to pursue his passion for acting.

Although his resumé boasts over 100 credits, Eklund admits he doesn’t pick and choose which scripts he
would like to work onhe'll take any job offered. However, with each role he plays, he adds a new
twist to the character, saying, “What I do is try to play the role in a way that I haven’t played before.
If I’m playing something where I’m revisiting something similar, then I try to attack it and approach it
in a different way.”

Recognized in the film and television industry as a character actor, Eklund continues to wow audiences
and critics with his versatility, often adding a subtle comedic tone in his performances, even when they
deal with dark subject matter.

"I always think the darker the subject matter is, the more humor it’s going to need; because you need
those moments as a breath of fresh air, to take the audience out of how drastic and intense it is. And
then the more humorous the project is, the more serious I play it. That’s my trick. Never play the comedy,
never play the seriousness; do the complete opposite."
